Chapter 10

“You just got the marriage certificate, congratulations~” the female comrade said with a smile, but Xu Ning’s clothes looked a little strange. Few people would wear such old clothes to get a marriage certificate. Even if their family conditions were not good, they would at least have new clothes when they got married.

“Thank you. You are the first one to know and congratulate me on my marriage.” Xu Ning’s face became even redder, and in her bright eyes there was a hint of bashfulness and apology. “I’m sorry, I don’t have any wedding candy right now. When I buy some, I’ll send some to you.”

When another female comrade saw that Xu Ning was talking about you, she knew that she was also included in the conversation, and curiously joined in their conversation, “Sister Li was the first to know that you were married? Don’t your parents know?”

Speaking of her parents, Xu Ning’s mood slowly became low, her smile gradually faded, and she said sadly: “After they received the betrothal money from Aunt Qian, they sent me to the train station and told me to listen to Aunt Qian in the future and send money back if I have money.”

She was sad that she didn’t see the two comrades looking at each other, as if they had discovered something.

“Is Aunt Qian the matchmaker or your mother-in-law? When did you get off the train?” the female comrade continued, “and how long have you known your husband?”

Some people wonder why the lesbians keep asking questions, but the lesbians are police officers.

Xu Ning didn’t dare to lie, and answered honestly and obediently: “Aunt Qian is the matchmaker. She picked me up when I got off the train yesterday afternoon. My husband and I just met yesterday afternoon. Aunt Qian said he is a good man and told me to live a good life. She is right, my husband is really a good person.”

The female comrade couldn’t control her anger and wanted to speak, but Sister Li interrupted her with a smile: “Aunt Qian is a very good matchmaker. I have a younger brother at home who is also of marriageable age. Do you know where Aunt Qian lives? I want to ask her to be a matchmaker for my brother.”

Isn’t this a coincidence? Xu Ning happened to mention this when chatting with Aunt Qian yesterday. She couldn’t lie to the police.

So she answered seriously and repeated it twice at Sister Li’s request.

When the female comrades wanted to ask more questions, He Beian was brought over by a police comrade. Seeing him, Xu Ning smiled and said goodbye to the female comrades, and promised to send them the wedding candies she bought.

Xu Ning followed He Beian out. The female comrade frowned and wanted to call her to stop, but Sister Li beside her grabbed her wrist.

When they reached the door, Xu Ning turned around and waved to them with a smile.

Originally, she was thinking of finding a way to make Qian Sanhong return the money she earned from selling her and then call the police. However, stimulated by the human trafficker just now, Xu Ning thought it would be better to send her to jail as soon as possible, maybe she could prevent her from harming the next person.

Compared with the human traffickers who abduct and rob children, Qian Sanhong is slightly better. Her strength lies in that she knows how to take the bright path and calls the money from human trafficking a betrothal gift. She does not earn all the money, but the difference in price made by the middleman.

And they only look for families who are willing to sell their daughters, and those families don’t care what family their daughters marry into. Even if someone is beaten to death, no one cares, no one helps, and no one holds them accountable.

It was clearly a good deed that required matchmaking, but Qian Sanhong turned it into a disgusting affair.

After coming out of the police station, Xu Ning kept thinking about Qian Sanhong, and He Beian did not take the initiative to speak, and the two of them remained silent all the way.

······

After the two men left, Hu Xianglan felt restless at home. She went to talk to her husband’s tablet for a while, cleaned the house inside and out, and then started to cook lunch.

I was so busy that I finally calmed down. While I was working, I kept my ears open to the door.

Whenever a bicycle passed by the door, she would stick her head out of the kitchen to take a look at the front door, hoping that the two of them would come back.

If I had known earlier, I should have asked them to get the certificate and come back to let her take a look before going shopping.

The sound of a bicycle was heard at the front door again. Hu Xianglan put down the basin in her hand and ran to the kitchen door to see.

This time, my wish finally came true, my son and daughter-in-law came back!

“You’re back~” Hu Xianglan grabbed her apron and wiped her hands clean, then walked quickly to the yard, “Let me see the marriage certificate!”

After getting the marriage certificate, He Beian folded up Xu Ning’s piece and put it in his pocket. After parking his bicycle, he took out the folded marriage certificate from his pocket and handed it to Hu Xianglan.

“How can this marriage certificate be folded like this? Look at the creases on it.” Hu Xianglan unfolded the marriage certificate bit by bit with distress, muttering, “None of you two thought about carrying it with your schoolbag. It would be much better to put it flat in the schoolbag. Look how ugly it looks with so many folds on it.

I’ll press it under a book for a few days and it should be flattened. ”

She kept muttering, but Hu Xianglan’s eyes never left the marriage certificate. After waiting for so long, her son finally got married!

It would be great if Old He were here, he would be so happy.

“Auntie, I don’t have a schoolbag.” Xu Ning didn’t take the blame. It wasn’t that she didn’t carry a schoolbag, but that she didn’t have one.

Xu Ning’s voice briefly attracted Hu Xianglan’s attention, and she was startled to see how pale her face was.

When she went out in the morning, her face was rosy white, how come it turned pale in just a moment? Is there something wrong with your body?

It was a beautiful day. Hu Xianglan secretly cursed herself for having wild thoughts and asked Xu Ning, “You look so pale, are you hungry? The meal is ready, let’s go eat.”

Hanging on the front of the bicycle were the things Xu Ning bought from the state-owned store. He Beian didn’t know if it was convenient for him to take them, so he stopped her and said, “Let’s eat later. Put your things back to the room first.”

She didn’t say she was going to eat, so why did he act like he was afraid she wouldn’t take anything?

Xu Ning walked up to the bicycle and took down the things hanging on the handlebars. She was waiting on the side. Wasn’t she just waiting for him to park the bicycle so that she could get the things?

When she went downstairs to get her things, He Beian had already walked to the door of the room where he lived.

There are two large rooms built in this row, one is on Hu Xianglan’s side and the other is on He Beian’s side.

The large room is divided into an outer room, which is the living room, and three small rooms. The layout of the rooms on both sides is similar and there is no difference in size.

He Beian pushed open the door, lifted the curtain, and waited for her to come over.

Xu Ning passed by him very quickly with something in her hand, entered the house and placed the thing on the table, then turned around and asked him: “Where should I sleep?”

He Beian glanced into the yard and saw no one there. His mother had gone back home with the marriage certificate.

He walked into the room and pointed to the room on the left. “You live in this room, but you have to put away the bedding over there and put it in my room during the day. And your toiletries have to be put in my room too. Jiaojiao will come over to play on weekends, and mom will come over to get things sometimes.”

Xu Ning roughly understood what he meant. He meant that she could sleep in that room at night, but during the day she had to pretend that the room was unoccupied. In addition to sleeping in that room, she also put her toiletries and clothes in his room…

She is not an ant, and she has to move every morning and evening!

Walking silently to the room and opening the door, Xu Ning took a look inside the room and saw a single bed, a desk and a clothes hanger.

It is obvious that this is a temporary accommodation for guests. The room is actually not small, and with the clothes hanger as the only piece of furniture, it looks a bit desolate.

Opposite this room is the room where He Beian lives. At this time, his room door was not closed, so Xu Ning got a general idea with just a casual glance.

Recorder, TV, wardrobe, bedside table, basin rack, desk, mirror…

In fact, the two rooms are not much different in size…
